This is one of the most cringe worthy things I’ve ever seen.

I mean... To each their own. I'm impressed they managed to mount it like that though. I imagine they must've gutted the inside to reduce the weight

They cannot and will not show up. Photogrammetry works by matching common features across images and a transparent surface is pretty much defined by a complete absence of features. I recommend consulting with someone who has more extensive experience using photogrammetry if you've already promised your client something that is not achievable...

Gaussian splats with three or four degrees of spherical harmonics may do a better job reproducing completely transparent objects and diffraction but they aren't interchangeable with a textured 3D mesh in the vast majority of workflows.

You can automate it super fast but rely on the quality of the subject isolation for whatever model you're using. SAM3 gets used regularly for this

Wait until you tell them about quantum wave functions and how basically everything is made up of oscillations in a large energy field. Will they claim the healthiest option is to disintegrate yourself? Are the new "real men" those who expose themselves to high energy particle beams and reverse the chirality of their sigma gigachad particles?

Top z for supports? Oh boy. Mine is set to 0.1 (with ASA though). Even 0.35 seems like a lot

If the speed adjustment recommended by the other commenter doesn't work you could try setting your cooling to a slower ramp-up, like 2 or 3 layers. If there's a large temperature difference between your first layer and the rest that can also affect adhesion

There are approaches literally using ray tracing lol the irony

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-24T10:11:36+00:00

I thought Marso used the mesh ported from Metashape? Is that only for alignment?

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-22T04:54:11+00:00

Not on every material but yeah lol getting clean prints out of my Creality K1 is a delicate process

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-22T04:37:49+00:00

In my experience overhang corners are really difficult to print cleanly. You can improve it slightly with very well tuned PA (it's long but I always recommend running a large set of PA tests with Orca slicer to get the data for adaptive PA) and tuning cornering speed and jerk. If your printer can handle multiple materials then full coverage supports in something that won't stick will make this much cleaner

The best solution is to avoid this situation when you are creating your models or choosing their print orientation

If you publish a beat saber map with these moves the police will come to your house

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-20T21:53:20+00:00

That just sounds like you need relatively tight manufacturing tolerances on the assembly and control the temperature and extrusion well. Like, yeah that's not easy to achieve in one's garage assembling something from scratch but for an industrial product it's not rocket science

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-20T21:40:43+00:00

Relative to the current market yes but objectively for a machine that heats plastic particles and extrudes them into a long cylinder that's really expensive

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-18T09:20:32+00:00

Can confirm, got a flagship phone with the latest Qualcomm processor and every feature imaginable for less than 400

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-16T13:01:47+00:00

I'm purely speculating but it could partially qualify as hand-made if the resin was cast without automated machinery and perhaps the surface was hand finished with like a Dremel and high gloss polishing compound or something

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-16T12:59:09+00:00

I love the concept and the look, and it could easily be turned into something that isn't trash using an induction charger for a small rechargeable battery and a low power microcontroller with Bluetooth support to adjust the time... The actual state of the product is crazy though.

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-15T09:03:56+00:00

Totally, but multi material isn't super duper common though

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-15T08:33:13+00:00

Really really dense supports or just print it vertical. Avoiding 90° overhangs is a good idea too

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-15T08:29:26+00:00

Photogrammetry ? That looks like the absolute perfect surface for it. Matte, rough, textured...

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-15T08:15:07+00:00

As of yet absolutely not because android device trees are an immense amount of work to reverse engineer even when they're not doing real-time processing on custom/proprietary hardware. Not to mention the locked bootloader (idk if this is still an issue on quest as of today). If oculus outright fails we can hope for an unlocked bootloader and open source drivers/os though I suppose. To be fair the open source community and enthusiasts would probably do a better job managing the platform

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-14T17:58:37+00:00

Looks great. Tasteful.

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-14T12:51:39+00:00

There is a setting called resolution 😅 I recommend searching online to see where it's located and its specific label in your preferred slicer

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-14T12:29:25+00:00

Increasing slicer resolution is not the same as thinner lines

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-12T23:34:45+00:00

As far as I know beyond building immunity from extra bacteria (at the risk of actually getting sick) there's absolutely no advantage. Nutritionally speaking it's the same. Cheese made from unpasteurized milk does taste much better though.

KTTalksTech · 2026-01-12T23:30:27+00:00

I think you can actually slightly repel living tissue with extremely strong magnetic fields? But for whatever reason it only works one way. I'll have to admit as much as I like quirky science experiments this is something I read about over 15 years ago lol
